If it ain't broke, don't fix it... If the stuff you use works well enough to make you happy, then I would not use anything else. Just my thoughts.

Well how much do you have?

What are you using in terms of LSP? Are you using their consumer or professional line? Also, what color car do you have?

I have heard it many times on detailing forums, a saying dating back many years by an expert in the paint and detailing field.. "Find something you like, and use it often."

Through the guidance of a user of the accord (my DD) forum I am on, I recently started using the Blackfire line of products. I will never use anything else. Here is my Expy after only a rinseless blackfire wash and 2 coats of crystal seal, after a new england winter filled with salt, and no washs whatsoever. I can't imagine what it will look like when I correct, polish, and seal it up!

Post up some pics of your rig and results with your favorite products!

Autopia carcare and autogeek.net are the most common places to buy. Both have 10, 15, and 20% off sales (plus free shipping) pretty frequently.

The autopia forum is a great place for information, particularly the blackfire section:

Autopia Forums - Auto Detailing & Car Care Discussion Forum


Here is the thread of my personal experiences with it on my Accord:

Blackfire Sealants on my Coupe: What a difference! - Drive Accord Honda Forums

I won't ever use anything else... They are super easy to use, and the results speak for themselves.

Just my 2cents, I use a combination of products from Adam's Polishes and Chemical Guys. Wash soap and detail spray from Adams and polishes and wax from CG. Microfiber towels from both companies. Unbelieveable customer service from Adams. Only owned the Expedition for a week now and it got washed, clay barred polished, sealed and waxed on day 2.

Has anyone tried the new spray on film for bug protection ? Cannot remember the name of it right now, oh yeah, Armoral Shield or something like that.

 

[GAINMOB]

[Bojo]

I use Pinnacle products. Check out Autoanything.

Ok I may sound like a weenie asking this but what is "clay barred"?

 

[GAINMOB]

Clay bar is what u can use to get impurities off you paint to bring out the shine...directions on box say to do it out of direct sunlight and to keep area wet that ur claying...then u mead the clay as it gets dirty

Thanks Freeway, and I did see more about this throughout the forum after I posted this, sounds like a better way to resolve surface scratches than rubbing compound.
